The view from Chelsea: The five reasons why Mourinho's men WILL win the title

This season's title race is the most exciting in years as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City fight it out. And we've asked fan websites of the three teams to convince us why it'll be their team lifting the Premier League trophy next month. Here is Andy Seaby from Chelsea's Chelsea Daft who lays out the five reasons why the Londoners will clinch the title next month.

To write an article stating five reasons why Chelsea will win the Premier League title seems strange after two disappointing defeats to Aston Villa and Crystal Palace in recent weeks. However, there is a saying in football that it's not over until that final whistle blows and with plenty of football to be played between now and the end of the season, Chelsea are still well in it.

1) Never underestimate the influence of Mourinho

The Special One simply cannot be ignored especially in moments such as these. With vast experience of winning titles and knowing what it takes to get the job done, you simply cannot rule out Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side.

The manager has been more than vocal about his frustrations this season. From playing down our title chances to openly slating our strikers, Mourinho has re-iterated his focus is on next season. But when have you ever known him to give up knowing that it's still mathematically possible?

There will be plenty of twists and turns before the end of the season and I am expecting the manager to continue working his magic with the media. He'll ramp up pressure on our rivals in these coming weeks and it will be interesting to see how they all react.

2) Liverpool helping us along

Everyone has been surprised at the rise of the Anfield club this season. We all knew the ability they had up front but the doubts were whether or not they would be able to maintain form and make a challenge for the title.

At the moment, with fixtures being in their favour over the last couple of months, Liverpool have taken full advantage.

This month is massive for Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. Liverpool face both of us at Anfield with Manuel Pellegrini's side first to face them.

Chelsea sit just two points behind Liverpool and if Brendan Rodgers' men pull off a victory over Manchester City but lose to Chelsea, it would bring us right back into contention.

3) Manchester City's tricky remaining fixtures

With two games in hand, City sit just two points behind Chelsea and the odds are stacked in their favour.

Out of eight games remaining they have three tough games to play against Southampton tomorrow, Liverpool at Anfield next week, followed by Everton away on May 3.

I mean no disrespect to the other sides they have to face but on paper you can understand what I am saying as they are due to face Sunderland, West Brom, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and West Ham. You would put your mortgage on City in those games.

If Manchester City lose to Liverpool and draw against Everton with Chelsea winning their remaining games, we would go above City. Anything is possible.

4) The unpredictability of the Premier League

The Premier League is the best league in the world because, on their day, sides fighting for their lives at the bottom pull off fantastic performances against the so-called bigger teams. We have seen it with the fantastic Crystal Palace performance against us just last week.

Form is often irrelevant, players have off days or simply one team literally wants it more than the other - stranger things have happened.

On paper it looks as though City have five easy games and go into this title run-in as favourites, but I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped points along the way.

5) Who can best deal with the pressure?

As the games come and go the pressure to win the title will intensify. It will simply come down to who manages to keep calm, to keep control and to deliver the three points week in, week out.

Sitting top of the league now the pressure is on Liverpool to stay there. They have earned the right to be there but now more than ever it's how they cope and deal with it.

Very few of their squad have been involved in a title race before, their manager Brendan Rodgers has never been in this situation before and it will be more than interesting to see if they can live with it or if they crumble.

Steel: Don't expect Chelsea captain John Terry to cave in when the pressure really starts to crank up

Manuel Pellegrini has the burden of expectation after replacing Roberto Mancini. Second simply wasn't good enough last term and City expect the title this time round. They have their destiny in their own hands with two games on the other two contenders, but they still have to go out on that pitch and earn those three points.

We have seen City lose games you would never expect this season and have seen City literally have no answer to Mourinho's team at Eastlands. Could someone else take the same approach to Pellegrini's men and do the unexpected? I hope so.

As for Mourinho's men? What's more to be said. This squad of players knows exactly what it takes to deliver success and has become back-to-back European champions. Now more than ever, the title is what these players and the manager crave after being out of the running for the last two seasons.

It's all to play for in what has proven to be one of the most open title races for years. It's has come down to who handles everything thrown at them best over the next few weeks and I will re-iterate again that you should never underestimate the influence of Jose Mourinho!

The master: None of the other managers will deal with the pressure as well as Chelsea boss Mourinho
